The Be Well Coach: Banana Ice Cream

by Leslie O’Neill

Happy Friday!

I have had a lot of people ask me how they can have ice cream when they are trying to cut out dairy from their diet. There are a few great replacements that you can find in the grocery store, which would be nondairy forms of traditional ice cream using nut milks. I also just read that Ben and Jerry’s is coming out with a non-dairy line using almond milk. I will definitely be trying that!

For those of you that love bananas they also can be used to make a satisfying sweet treat. Bananas are naturally high in sugar and are very sweet which makes them a perfect alternative when replacing out processed sugar from a recipe. I do not recommend eating them often especially if you are watching your sugar intake but the reality is sometimes we just want something sweet and yummy so it is all about making better choices.
